Well it’s easily done of course (she probably thought it was our man Serge Poniatowski) but Republican V-P candidate Sarah Palin being conned by Canadian comedian Marc Antoine Audette on a Montreal radio phone-in that she was talking to Nicolas Sarkozy doesn’t exactly burnish her credentials with three days to go to the election.
Even publicity hound Sarkozy doesn’t do Montreal radio stations.
Palin is supposed to be positioning herself as the next Republican party leader.
Following in the great traditions of George W Bush it would appear.
